Adsorption occurs when atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid adhere to a surface. Adsorption is not a misprint: it is different from absorption. A great environmental and economic advantage of activated carbon is that it is recyclable following a thermal treatment to drive off adsorbed compounds. The second heating process creates a pore structure that “activates” the carbon by greatly increasing the surface area of the carbon. It may then be exposed to other chemicals, such as argon and nitrogen, and heated again in the presence of steam and oxygen. First, coal is heated in the absence of oxygen. Many home water treatment devices also employ activated carbon, especially to help reduce water odor and taste.Īctivated carbon can be prepared from many common substances that are high in carbon, and bituminous coal is a typical starting point. Activated carbon is used by water treatment facilities to help improve water quality. In general, access to the surface area improves with decreasing carbon particle size, thereby increasing the adsorption rate. That is a lot of “nooks and crannies,” places where water contaminants can get stuck and “adsorbed” onto the carbon in response to attractive forces. One gram (or about ½ teaspoon) of activated carbon contains about 5,400 square feet of surface area! That’s roughly twice the area of the average American home (see National Association of Home Builders website). Imagine a substance that has an extremely high surface area per unit mass, a highly porous substance. This article focuses on one of these technologies, adsorption with activated carbon, which removes unwanted substances from water in a purely physical way. At the treatment plant, these technologies are applied in a particular order, known as a “treatment train,” to produce water of optimum quality for the consumer.
